Dear Mr Sants, I am writing to you on behalf of the huge number of IFAonline.co.uk readers who believe the FSA's response to the issue of dual-pricing has been insufficient and are calling for urgent further action.

IFAonline.co.uk has been inundated with comments on mortgage dual-pricing over the last few months. In response to requests from our readers, we are launching a campaign on the issue with a view to making the FSA listen properly to advisers' and brokers'...

FSA chief executive Hector Sants is today accused of making "completely contradictory" statements on the issue of dual pricing in an open letter from mortgage adviser Stuart Duncan.
